    VIDEO...GSMNP Fork Ridge to Mingus Mill

    Did a 3 day backpacking trip to the GSMNP last week with Paddlemule, Chris and Todd, the latter 2 being ground dwellers but probably very soon convertees. It was kind of one of those areas where you see a lot but it's hard to get on film. Almost no color change in the trees yet and a little hard to get a panoramic view. The designated campsites we chose were a little difficult in finding good trees but we managed and it was a good thing that we all weren't in hammocks. It was a good trip and I hope you enjoy watching.

    Great video, and an awesome looking trip. I"ve spent very little time in the Smokies and loved it. I really enjoyed seeing the log foot bridges and moss covered rocks, brings back some good memories. Thanks for sharing.

    There were quite a few of the log bridges and the moss gave good traction. Without the moss they were kinda slick. Thanks for watching.

    Thanks for the video. A good job as always. Acorns are slippery here at home also this year.

    Nice video, Firebird. Looks like we were on some of the same trail segments, perhaps days (or hours?) apart.
